Thesis

I envisioned that the world won't change much in the near future, our lifestyle won't change much. However, due to climate change, I wanted to design a vehicle that relies on full electricity to reduce carbon emission. Another major function is to have it being capable of getting into collisions, so that the number of car accidents will be reduced as well.

Problem Statement:

Inspiration

• Inspired by red blood cells
• Flow through our body fast
• Have great oxygen capacity
• Super efficient
• Malleable

Aren't they the best example for future transit!!?

Map of the City

City of Taichung!!

• It’s divided into the center and the suburbs
• The center is full of commercial buildings
• People’s houses, schools, grocery stores… etc. are in the suburbs

Drawings of the Red Cells V1

Description: 

• Looks like a red blood cell
• Private-owned
• Fully automated
• Electric
• Malleable/buoyant
• Four seaters
• Seats face each other

Drawings of the Red Cells V2

Storyboard based on my first idea

Modification:

• Instead of the boxy look, it’s going to look like rbcs

Modification:

• Instead of being driven on open roads, there’ll be transparent tunnels/tubes

Thesis

My car is an unflippable that works in the fields of all terrian, rescue or recover, and any natural disaster situation. The idea is that it can also be moving. I got this insipration from fire nation tanks from Avatar the Last Airbender, the show, I also got it from it being diffucult to navigate reckage from storms and hurricanes.The name comes from the fact that it would always have wheels on the ground such came Infinity Grounded.

This project focuses on bringing light to the plastic problem, and since fidget toys have been such a wide phenomenon we are trying to bring a more eco-friendly fidget that also encourages more exploration and creativity for young kids who are getting a feel for the world.
